NO BOX SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN A TRANSBRAKE PERIOD.....HAS RUINED THE CLASS

Rickster




At my closest track they run transbrakes and air/electric shifters in no box. Hardly any foot brake classes around here anymore.




I see that more and more these days...Most tracks allow them in no box...I have TB and as stated its only used to back the car up. I have tried it a couple of times, but preferred foot braking...

What I found was just the preloading of the suspension on the foot brake as I lightly staged the car, and then released the foot brake when the TB was pressed allowed the car to move enough to make it impossible to repeat. The stock front suspension with all of its +30 years of abuse and old rubbery joints is not repeatable enough in a relaxed state. Even creeping in at an idle was enough to change RT....Since I put the new front suspension in, I have not tried it...But any play when taking your foot off the brakes and transitioning to TB that might allow the car to move a little is just not repeatable.
